Should the following code work? I feel like I have done this before, but I'm getting a "must be a subquery" error now.
update TABLE1
set (FIELD1, FIELD2) =
values(select 'blah','blah' from DUAL)
where PK_FIELD=12345;
If this is invalid, is there another way to hardcode a series of values like this?
Can we use a subquery after the update keyword??
For example
UPDATE ( Select col1 from test)
set col1='x';
In short can we replace the table name after an update and use a select statement instead??
I'm getting back more than I want. I need to get the latest row in the PS_ACAD_STDNG_ACTN that has the academic standing code for students.
I thought if I max the effdt, strm, and effseq I would get back only one row. Especially effdt since a academic status is hardly ever updated on the same date.
PS_NTSR_GF_STUFILE will have multiple emplid's for students taking classes. PS_ACAD_STDNG_ACTN should have the last standing status for each student..(PRO = Probation, DIS = Dismissed).
UPDATE PS_NTSR_GF_STUFILE a
SET a.NTSR_GF_ENRL_STAT = nvl((
SELECT b.GBSA_SUB1
FROM PS_GBSA_DTL b, PS_ACAD_STDNG_ACTN c

I am updating one table from another (Updating Table A from Table B):
Table A
ID, Value
-- -----
1 A
1 A
2 B
Table B
ID, Value
-- -----
1 Animal
2 Box
Table A (modified)
ID, Value, Name
1 A Animal
1 A Animal
2 B Box
No I need to update a new column in Table A with the value in Table B.Value where the ID's from both tables match. Problem is: When I do this I get multiple rows and hence Oracle won't let me update this column. Now, I keep reading that for these types of updates, there has to be a one-to-one relationship...
Is this true...is there anyway of telling Oracle to update wherever it finds that ID, regardless of how many duplicate ID's there are?
This is quite a frustrating problem and most of the sites that I've looked for solutions try get the query one-to-one...problem is...with my table sets it's impossible to do that - I need to update wherever the id's match (even if it return multiple rows).
I have two update queries in the same Proc. One Seems to run just fine, the other I am getting this error:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
The working Updates' structure is the same as the erroneous one. This works:
UPDATE P0525_STOREROOM_HOLDER H
SET H.STRATIFICATION_ID = (SELECT X.STRATIFICATION_ID
FROM EMISTRATIFICATION_XS X
WHERE H.TOA = X.TOA
AND H.STOREROOM = X.STOREROOM
AND H.NSN = X.NSN
AND X.ASSEMBLY = 'NO REQUIREMENT' );
This one gives me a single-row error:
UPDATE P0525_STOREROOM_HOLDER H
SET H.STRATIFICATION_ID = (SELECT X.STRATIFICATION_ID
FROM EMISTRATIFICATION_XS X
WHERE H.TOA = X.TOA
AND H.STOREROOM = X.STOREROOM
AND H.NSN = X.NSN
AND X.ASSEMBLY = 'ABOVE ALLOWANCE'
AND H.NSN_QUANTITY > 0);
I have run a check on the data and there doesn't appear to be any duplicate values in the second update... Both Updates are supposed to be updating record sets not a single row (i.e. the stratification_id where the criteria matches...

I have a base table (Table A) block with multiple records displayed. I need to track audits to this underlying table in the following way:
If user updates a field in the block I want the pre-changed record's audit fields to be set and I need to create a copy of the record with the changed values. Basically any changes will result in the record being logically deleted, and a copy record created with the newly changed values.
Tried to implement in the block's pre-update trigger which will call a package to directly update Table A then Insert into Table A, then requery the block. Is there a clean and efficient way to do this?
I have table test1(id,name) and table test2(id,,name)
Now when I update name column of a row on test1 I want the same value to be updated for the same id in test2.
So I wrote this trigger but its not working
create trigger test_trigger after update on test1 for each row
begin
update test2 set name=new.name where test2.id=id
end

i want to create a trigger that will update a table when there is an insert or update.i can't across this error that i don't even know what it means "table %s.%s is mutating, trigger/function may not see it".
*Cause: A trigger (or a user defined plsql function that is referenced in this statement) attempted to look at (or modify) a table that was in the middle of being modified by the statement which fired it.
*Action: Rewrite the trigger (or function) so it does not read that table.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER set_date_end
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF issued ON shares_amount
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO shares_amount(date_end) VALUES(SYSDATE);

I have a package function which is wrapped and I cannot see the code.The package function raises an user-defined exception when :

But it does not raise any exception and the query works absolutely fine generating desired results when :
SELECT ABC.*

I have ORACLE XE 11g installed on two machines and have been trying my luck to get my local db to query/insert/update a table from the remote db.
I have created the public database link and querying the dba_db_links shows that the links is successfully created (see the bottom of the post). I have also created synonyms for my remote table and queries like select name from jforum_forums succeed, with jforum_forums being a public synonym referring to user.jforum_forums@corona.magic.ubc.ca.
However when I try to insert a row into the remote table, there is a query to the remote DUAL to fetch the last generated ID for a given table similar to the following: SELECT jforum_forums_seq.currval FROM DUAL. Statements of such fail and they either throw an ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found or ORA-01729: database link name expected. I tried including the database link with the name of the table making it like SELECT jforum_forums_seq.currval FROM DUAL@corona.magic.ubc.ca but that didn't work either.
PS, I should mention that global_names are set to true in both databases and that my database link has the same name as the global_name of the remote database.

I am trying to understand the difference between using sequence.NEXTVAL from DUAL as against using it direclty in an INSERT statment.
--Sequence Creation
CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_ID START WITH 1 MINVALUE 1 NOCYCLE CACHE 500 NOORDER;
--Table1 Creation
Create table TABLEA (COL1 number, COL2 varchar2(10),
constraint COL1_PL primary key (COL1));
--Table2 Creation
Create table TABLEB(COL3 number);
alter table TABLEB add constraint COL1_FK foreign key(COL3) references TABLEA(COL1);
-- Option1 - Using sequence.NEXTVAL from DUAL
DECLARE
v_seq_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT SEQ_ID.NEXTVAL INTO v_seq_num FROM DUAL;
INSERT INTO TABLEA (COL1, COL2) VALUES (v_seq_num, 'test');
INSERT INTO TABLEB (COL3) VALUES (v_seq_num);
END;
-- Option2 - Using sequence.NEXTVAL in INSERT USING RETURNING INTO clause
DECLARE
v_seq_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TABLEA (COL1, COL2) VALUES (SEQ_ID.NEXTVAL, 'test') RETURNING COL1 INTO v_seq_num;

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy scenario is I need to insert into History table when a record is been updated into a tabular form(insert the updated record along with the additional columns Action_by,Action_type(Like Update or delete) and Action Date Into History table i.e History table contains all the records as the main table which is been visible in tabular form along with these additional columns ...Action_by,action_type and action_date.

I need to take a snapshot of a table before insert or update happens to that table.... in oracle 10g. I am reading the MV docs from oracle and below link..
[URL].......
how MV should be written for this and how to schedule it in dbms_jobs for auto refresh?
assuming that t1 is the table where DML operation are goin to happen so before any insert or update, snapshot has to be taken, and I am assuming that to do this it would look something like this?
create materialized view my_view refresh fast as select * from t1;
create materialized view log on my_view;
and then schedule in a dbms_jobs?

We have forms 11gr2 on win xp 32bit , weblogic linux server 64bit. We are converting 6i to 11g. Our system has many forms that span on 2 monitors. 1280x768 monitors, so some forms are 2560x768.
When alerts/messages pop up on the screen , they are positioned in the middle of both screens (guessing Oracle by default calculates width =2560/2, height =768/2).
Possible options:
1- is there a way to tell oracle to open alerts/messages a X Y coordinates? Maybe a config file on the server? Already file a Sr with Oracle tech support.
2- tried creating a form to do our messages. but this is flawed since when you call the new form to display the message, then the focus on current form is lost. when the message form is closed (then trigger when_window_activate fires)...this would be hell to try and control all our messages (we may have 20-30 on each big form. We have a total of 118 forms. Lots of messages with Y/N/Cancel options.
3- Maybe create a place holder for messages on all forms (bottom of screen)...thats the best idea we have so far.
4- Is there a way to do something with a java beans? We already have some knowledge with beans since we use image beans and pdf beans.
My problem is the following:
At the time when P_delivery_date changes in P_ORDERS I want to transfer P_delivery_date to S_delivery_date in S_ORDERS for corresponding records.

S_order_number,
S_poz_number,
P_delivery_date
sales orders table S_ORDERS:
S_order_number,

how to adjust a total (counter) after a record is inserted into a table.
the dilemma i am facing is we are using third party software for our fundraising operations so I have no control over what gets done in the background as users process their daily batches into the system. below is the scenario:

batchno number(8),
trantype varchar2(3),
transnum number(8),
split_transnum number(8));

create table appealtable
(appealcode varchar2(20),

during batch posting records are inserted into the paytable, on some pledge donations donors will send overpayments when fulfilling a PLEDGE(as is the case with donor 16084) therefore the system will split the payment during the process and will assign a trantype of 'PP' to the exact pledge amount and a 'PPO'(pledge payment overage) towards the balance. additionally as records get inserted into paytable there is counter of those paytable records going into the appealtable for that particular appealcode so in the case above when batchno 20120808 is completed appealtable.total# will show 103 and total$ will show $2532($10,$12,$10,,,I did not include payment$ since that is not the focus of this issue and will not change).
mgt wants the counter into the appealtable to be 2 instead of 3 records since the two records that were split(same split_transnum) should be recorded as one response not two.
I have tried writing an after insert trigger(dreaded mutating table error) and can't seem to figure out how to update the counter to the appealtable after records are inserted into paytable. below is some code I've been working with but it's not working.
